David - very cool, thanks much for your help!
if any other newbies run into the same problem:
echo "stuff"; //prints "stuff"
echo $string; //prints contents of string, does NOT parse.
include(filename); //whenever encountered, prints contents of file
//parses only if PHP tags present.
require(filename); //builds contents into page as if part of script
//even if require() inside conditional 'false'
//if doesn't parse right, script breaks.
eval($string); //prints contents of $string AFTER parsing PHP tags.
nesting them in multiple ways allows very dynamic code reuse and modular
page building, which is your friend.
cheers!
